Beyond the photos, I also found numerous records of auction purchases. Each one was for a piece of jewelry sent to Taylor under the guise of a corporate gift. He told her that it was a thank-you gift for the partner.
Each detail stabbed at my heart like a needle. I recognized those jewelry brands because I’d seen them before.
Matt told me they were gifts he’d chosen for me, but now I knew they were just promotional giveaways from the auction house.
A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I closed the album. Instead, I booked a plane ticket to leave the country in three days and filed applications to cancel all my legal documents.
Three days were enough to end five years of marriage.
I could not fall asleep at all last night. So when the morning came, I went out to freshen up, only to hear my phone rang.
Matt's confused voice immediately sounded, "Did you cancel some documents, Fiona?"
I quickly grabbed my phone and calmly explained, “It’s nothing. My ID card expired, so I scheduled a time to renew it.”
“Aren’t you supposed to have a meeting today?" I asked. "Go on, don’t keep them waiting.”
